PhonePe launched its SmartSpeakers for merchants last year and since then it is utilised by thousands of hop owners in India on a daily basis. The SmartSpeaker is an accessory that makes a verbal announcement whenever an amount is added to the UPI account. This is helpful as merchants do not have to open the app repeatedly during busy hours just to know whether money was sent or not. But now, PhonePe is making this feature more fun to use by adding a cool quality-of-life feature. At present, it has a default neutral voice that can be customized for different regional languages. However, this will be upgraded with a new celebrity voice feature using which users will be able to listen to famed actor Amitabh Bachchan's voice on PhonePe SmartSpeakers while receiving payments. Sound cool right? Know how the new feature works.
You Can Now Play Red Dead Redemption on Android
19.08.2023 - 01:59 / droidgamers.com / John Marston / Can / You Can
Thanks to the wonders of emulation, you can now play Red Dead Redemption on Android. And, early reports indicate that it works pretty well, provided you have a sufficiently powerful device, that is.
Users on the EmulationOnAndroid subreddit have showcased the brand new Switch version running at a stable 30fps on both Yuzu and Skyline. Though, the Yuzu version seems to have some bizarre colour issues.
Almost all of the screenshots we’ve seen so far features a purpley-blue John Marston, with the rest of the world looking largely fine. I wouldn’t recommend playing it that way, but the fact it runs at all is impressive.
And remember, this is before any optimisations by either emulator’s developer to make the game run better. We could be mere days away from a perfect version of Red Dead Redemption on Android. Who would have believed that just a handful of years ago?
The phone we’ve seen the best performance out of so far is the Red Magic 7S Pro, which features a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. So, you will need a phone of at least that level of performance to get the most out of Red Dead Redemption on Android.
Having said that, I recommend that you hold off for just now, unless you’re totally fine with the idea of a blue John Marston. Skyline is discontinued, so it’s unlikely that performance will improve over there, but Yuzu is in active development and receives updates very often.
I also recommend following the EmulationOnAndroid subreddit, as you will know as soon as a user has managed to get this game running flawlessly. It’s a helpful community, that regularly provides tutorials and recommended specs.
In other emulation news, we recently highlighted Windows emulator Cassia, SkyEmu’s Android release and DS support, and the launch of another Windows emulator, Winlator.
Forget Wordle, you can now play Connections on iPhone and Android via the NYT Games app

And if you are a fan of Wordle, or text puzzles in general, then you need to know about the most recent game to come out of NYT, which is gaining popularity at an exponential rate. The game is called Connections and it is a very different take on word puzzles. The best part about the game is that now it is available to play on iPhone and Android devices as well.
You Can Now Wishlist the Very Well Received Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on PS5, PS4 | Push Square
Those pining for SEGA's long dormant series, Jet Set Radio, should definitely have Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on their radar. Developed by indie dev Team Reptile, this new game looks to be about as close to a new Jet Set as you can go without troubling SEGA's legal team. It's now available on Steam and Nintendo Switch, but a release on PS5 and PS4 is just around the corner.
Red Dead Redemption Review (PS4) | Push Square
Red Dead Redemption. What a classic. The treacherous tale of former outlaw John Marston helped define the PS3 generation, and the game's storytelling, complete with crazy characters and typically tense western vibes, still holds up today. From the dusty beginnings of Armadillo to the bear-infested forests of Tall Trees, this is a sandbox adventure that has largely stood the test of time — although as you may have already predicted, the technical side of this PS4 re-release leaves much to be desired.
You can now warm up and cool off your Steam Deck screen
TheSteam Deck is an amazing, high-powered handheld, but with great power can come the strains of starting at a bright screen for too long. While devices like your desktop gaming PC allow you to change the color temperature of your screen to help with any possible eye strain, the Steam Deck only allowed you to change the brightness, until now.

You Can Now Buy PS Plus Premium Classics Tekken 2, Ridge Racer Type 4, More | Push Square

Playing them at no extra cost is great of course, but if you want the extra security, it's nice that most games offer the option to buy them. Unfortunately, there are a few outliers, but a bunch of them have recently made the switch, and can now be bought.
Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Seems Solid, But Should Be So Much More | Push Square
The source of much criticism since its announcement, Red Dead Redemption — the freshly released PS4 port — admittedly isn't as half-arsed as we feared it would be. But at the same time, it's far from the remaster that such a beloved PS3 classic deserves. We've ran through the open world epic's opening hours in order to write this Hands On article, and our impressions are fairly mixed.
Red Dead Redemption’s New PS4 and Nintendo Switch Ports Feature Minor Resolution Bumps Despite $50 Price
Red Dead Redemption is out now on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch and unsurprisingly, it is a barebones upgrade to the revered Western odyssey. During the initial announcement, Rockstar Games never revealed any technical specifications, simply calling it a ‘conversion' that didn't mention anything about visual improvements or support for 60fps. That seems to be the case, judging by the new press release — dropped launch day — which states that regardless of the platform, the game is locked to 30fps. The new bit of information, however, is that the port from Double Eleven Studios runs at 1080p resolution on the Nintendo Switch and PS4, going up to 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro and PS5 (playable via backward compatibility).
